Hi,
I am planning to take CFA level1 next year, most probably.


Just a simple question to ask,

for you guys that did CFA level1,

I find the sylabus coverage published on their website not quite clear. Just wanna clear some doubt:

Does CFA level1 in anyway cover Option pricing? Portfolio management? and/or Foreign Currency Securities?


Thanks.

Option Pricing => Level 2 (Valuation of Derivatives)

Portfolio Management => Level 3 (Asset Allocation and Portfolio Management)

Foreign Currency Securities => Level 2 (Econ - topics in relation interest rate, inflation and monetary & fiscal policy) and Level 2 (Financial Statement Analysis - foregin currency translation treatment) and Level 3 (Option Strategies related Currency Swap)
